Purpose of research. Analysis of preservation agents for the protection of technical products to determine the direction for the modification of preservation materials.Methods. To achieve this goal, we have reviewed the modern scientific and technical literature in this area. The conservation method using lubricants is used to maintain the stored products in working order and use them as intended,. Lubricants for various purposes are usually subdivided into lubricants, oils and specialty liquids.Results. The currently used preservatives not only fails to provide reliable protection of the materials of products, but in most cases they themselves are power sources for microorganisms, provoking the development of microbiological and corrosive damage. One of the new directions in the modification of preservation materials is the use of alternative sources for modification based on plant origin materials (essential oils). The conducted analysis shows that many of the foreseen means of conservation are not produced for objective reasons, and the use of other means is often ineffective. The solution to this problem is associated with the use of essential oils for modifying existing preservation materials. which should increase their protective properties against the effects of biodegradable microorganisms, and, as a result, create effective protection against corrosion and biological damage. Conclusion. The presented results can be used to create resource-saving processing processes, frictional interaction, storage and preservation of metal systems, taking into account the operating conditions of a particular part for various weather conditions.

A hypothesis on the possible occurrence of the superplasticity phenomenon in local zones of friction contact is put forwarded. An extended classification of friction junctions is developed with consideration for the superplasticity phenomenon. A relation for the coefficient of friction which considers the possibility of the occurrence of the superplasticity phenomenon over a portion of the friction surface is obtained.

One- and two-step syntheses of composite coatings with an A–OOO polyimide matrix filled with 40-nm tungsten disulfide nanoparticles produced using gas-phase synthesis, which are intended for operation under dry friction conditions, are described. Results of studying the tribological behavior of these coatings are presented.

The synthesis of a composite coating with an (R–OOO)FT polyimide matrix is described and results of studying the tribological behavior of this coating are presented. Spherical 40-nm tungsten disulfide nanoparticles produced using gas-phase synthesis are used as a filler.

A synthesis is described and tribological characteristics are presented for composite coatings 40 μm thick with a PM–DADPE polyimide matrix and a filler of tungsten disulfide nanoparticles with size of 4 nm and tungsten diselenide nanoparticles 60 × 5 nm in size obtained via gas-phase synthesis.

In the article the results of research of influence of concentration and particle size of the layered nature of the modifier of friction of serpentinite obtained by a multistage technology of milling, magnetic separation and flotation, anti-wear properties of lubricating plastic material. Within the boundaries of the study revealed the occurrence of local films as a result of interaction of active components of the serpentinite to the surface friction in places of education juvenile areas.
